Skoda Kushaq recently got a BS6 Phase-2 update and in the process, witnessed a significant boost in mileage. In this article, we’ll give you a quick comparison of old and new fuel efficiency figures applicable with all 4 engine-transmission combinations of the Kushaq petrol.

The changes required to make the engines comply with the newer emission standards also helped Skoda improve the Kushaq’s fuel efficiency. In the case of the Kushaq 1.0L turbo petrol-manual, the mileage went up 1.32kmpl. With the 1.0L turbo petrol-automatic powertrain, it went up by 1.42kmpl, which is a phenomenal increase of 9% in the mileage figure.

The larger 1.5L turbo petrol engine didn’t see any notable improvement. Its ARAI fuel efficiency remains static at 17.95kmpl with the manual and 17.70kmpl with the automatic transmission. The following table will help you quickly compare the old and new mileage figures of the Skoda Kushaq:

Along with the BS6-II upgrade, Skoda also announced that they have made their cars compatible with E20 (flex fuel with 20% ethanol blend). In the next few years, our government intends to make the E20 fuel the basic fuel at all petrol stations in the country. This will cut down our dependence on 20% of the imported fuel as the local biofuel industry will meet that requirement. Currently, the petrol we buy at fuel stations contains 10% ethanol, which doesn’t require any change in the engine’s cylinder walls and fueling.
